One more down

We finished the Noida and Long Beach integration yesterday.

Tomorrow we'll get to see how it goes.  I think this was the best job so far but only time will tell ;-)

Queen Mary's

We happened to be in downtown Long Beach today right at the same time as there was a scheduled meeting of the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Mary.

The Queen Mary is moored at Long Beach permanently while the Queen Mary 2 was scheduled for a curtesy call - they came within about 1/3 of a mile from each other and tooted the horns. It was quite the spectacle and there were many people witnessing it.

Also - in preparation for the Toyota grand prix race in April the barriers were going up to make the street course. It was pretty cool on the way back - there were barriers on both sides of the street - would have made a great picture.

America West

America West dumped us in Phoenix for the night.  Blech!

Visited states

I couldn't resist trying this out.

I haven't actually been to Hawaii yet but I put it in there since I plan to go next month.

I'll have to try this again sometime and exclude the ones where all I saw was an airport.

Exchange rates

I bought Euro's today for the Sicily trip. Even though the currency is near lows for 2005 it still hurt pretty bad

Rate was around USD$1.24 ~= €1.00 for a consumer cash transaction (+4%)

One week left

One week left until they get back. Can't wait!
